Abstract		The records of electrophysiological answers by FES (Functional electrical stimulation) of nerves in lower extremities in 11 chronic patients with upper motoneurone lesion were analysed Efferent stimulation evoking direct responses (M-waves) in muscles belonging to stimulated axons in nerve trunk was confirmed. Afferent stimulation with appearance of other electrophysiological events (flexor reflex activity and evoked waves with longer latencies than M-waves) in several nonstimulated muscles was also proved
